Q: How do I remove colors that bled onto white stripes on a bathing suit?
I have a purple, blue and white striped new bathing suit. I rinsed it off and hung to dry after the first time I wore it and the purple stripes bled into the white stripes leaving them stained light purple. First, is there anyway to remove the stains that have already happened and second, is there anyway to prevent it from futher bleeding? Keeping in mind it is 80% spandex and 20% nylon. Thank you!

A: Try soaking it in white vinegar....my mom swears by it....it doesnt ruin the other colours....

A: Rub in natural soap. leave the soap on and your polo free from water , say 1/2 hr should be enough , Back to the cold water and rinse. Now hang your polo outside in the sun. The sun will bleach the white , whiter than white. No need for bleach , the sun will do the job for you

They seem almost to be an irregular but normal pattern on the leaves, but it's hard to tell because all other phiodendron pictures online, the leaves are super green. what's going on with my plant? I think it is a HEART SHAPED philodendron, I haven't seen a vareigated variety in pictures online - is there one?

The white stripes are located at the ends of the football and only span half the ball. NFL footballs don't have them.

Q: Why do lighthouses have red and white stripes?
Why do lighthouses have red and white stripes? This is for my 6yr olds school homework, she was given this question, Thanks for the interesting answers so far ...

A: Basically it's a universal colors to be cautious of. An aid for navigation and pilotage at sea, a lighthouse is a tower building or framework sending out light from a system of lamps and lenses or, in older times, from a fire. More primitive navigational aids were once used such as a fire on top of a hill or cliff. Because of modern navigational aids, the number of operational lighthouses has declined to less than 1,500 worldwide. Lighthouses are used to mark dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals away from the coast, and safe entries to harbors.
